This Grade I listed red sandstone tower probably dates back to the 13th century, although it has been added to and renovated over the years, including in the 17th century when the plaque engraved with a phoenix was added by the Guild of Painters & Stationers, to whom it was then leased.

The Phoenix Tower was originally a medieval watchtower. Built in the 13th century, it stands at the northeast corner of the historic city walls. After falling into disrepair, it was rebuilt in 1613 by two guilds, and their emblem, the phoenix, was placed above the door. Its connection to King Charles dates back to 1645, when he supposedly stood in the tower and watched his army being defeated at the Battle of Rowton Moor. Over the years, the tower was used commercially before being converted into a museum.
